DIY Crafts: A Neon Animal Garland!

Neon animals and garlands are two of today’s hottest trends in the craft/party decor world, so why not combine the two to create a bright and vibrant neon animal garland? Here’s how!:

MATERIALS: I spotted these plastic dinosaurs at the dollar store (my favorite spot for budget crafting!) and then headed to the hardware store for neon spray paint, twine and eyelets (screw eyes).

INSTRUCTIONS: After spray-painting the dinos to my heart’s content (actually, sweet Ken did this part, as I’m now 7 months pregnant with our little renovator!), we pre-drilled a 1/16 inch hole in the center of their back and inserted screw eyes from the hardware store. Easy peasy!

Stringing the garland is a piece of cake, as well – simply route the twine through each hanger and tie to secure (just to keep your dinos from sliding to the center after the garland is hung). I chose to use a natural twine to balance all of that crazy color so the look isn’t far too shocking to match the rest of my office. Luckily, the garland fits right in!

I think our sweet little creation would be darling in a nursery, or perfect for kid’s party decor. For now, I’m selfishly hoarding it in the corner of my office so I can stare at those fun little dinos daily. Who knows – maybe I’ll make them all my interns and teach them to answer the phone…

We just started redecorating our childs room and this seems like the perfect project to do with him. I hope this project cost to much, but I guess we'll see . Have any of the other commentators made this yet? If you have, could you please chime in on feasibility of building it on your own without very many tools? Thanks!

MMR what is the planning of your's with the redecorating? I wanted to know about it because this summer i have also planned to redecorate my child room and stated to look for some stunning ideas to decorate with. The above toy ideas is been indexed by me now and need some other ideas too.
